This Tasmanian transport history book recounts a period from around 1850 to 1960 when men battled almost overwhelming odds to carve a living out of an unforgiving land. The steam locomotive used on bush tramways and private railways between 1850 and 1960 made it possible to wrest a living harvesting the abundance of minerals and timber for the new Tasmanian economy.
